How does this workshop differ from independent study or online-only programs?

Is this course aligned with the digital PSAT and SAT?

 

Yes. Instruction and practice materials are aligned with the current digital formats of both the PSAT and SAT. All materials are continually updated to adjust to the most recent data from PSAT and SAT testing.  

 

What outcomes can parents expect?

 

• Build familiarity with PSAT/SAT question types and pacing

• Strengthen core math, reading, and grammar skills

• Learn effective test-taking strategies

• Increase confidence and reduce test-related anxiety  

• On average, students who fully complete our program (including all assigned practice tests and homework), raise their scores 150-200 points. This is not a guarantee, but it is the norm for our students who dedicate themselves to the process.

**Nationally, students take the SAT an average of three times before reaching their targeted score.

 

Will this course replace the need for private tutoring?

 

This course provides a strong foundation and comprehensive preparation for students. Families seeking additional individualized support may choose to continue strategizing with additional 1:1 sessions.
